Schmidt flip-flopped because he has been getting pressure from his most loyal social justice followers. He has tried to tell them he needs to perform a certain way to get elected, and then he will return to being their hero. They have threatened not to vote for anyone in the DA’s race.
You are right. Portland is a laughing-stock. The PSU protesters look like pathetic followers. Columbia University was getting all the attention, and the PSU crowd said, “Hey, what about us? We’re home of Rose City Antifa. We gotta get in on this act.”
What’s hilarious is that he even thinks he stands a chance. He’s totally deluded. And if they don’t vote, that’s going to usher in Nathan Vasquez so I hope they don’t vote. It would be great if they didn’t vote… they’re not savvy enough to vote…
Well, Nathan Vasquez has a HUGE lead, and way more money. The word on the street is that Nathan is going to win big. God, I hope he does. If Schmidt wins, it will feel like Donald Trump winning that first time in 2016. Understand that I don't like Trump, I've never liked Trump, for 40 years, I've never liked Trump, but I would be crushed if Schmidt were to win. I really do think most of Portland is done with him. If you look at his Twitter, he is so incredibly despised. It will definitely be a nail biter of an election... LOL... :)
Thanks for the information. I’m old so I don’t do much social media stuff. I’m on next door but there’s very little political discussion. It appears to be frowned upon.
I was born and raised in Portland. I grew up in laurelhurst and went to U of O for college. I have always been liberal but I can’t take the progressives. They are destroying everything that used to be Portland. It’s very hard for us old farts that are now in our 60s and beyond to see what has happened to Portland. Too many people have come here and don’t appreciate what it was. I come from a pioneer family so my roots go way back.
Same here. Born and raised. 58 now…I also come from a pioneer family, Irish, Scottish and English… I agree, the extremist progressives are destroying this country… and our city. I’m really hoping things improve…
First get rid of Mike Schmidt and next get rid of the bottle bill so we can rid ourselves of the other Schmidt. They can move to a leftist commune with Chesa Boudin the disgraced ex San Francisco DA (Schmidt’s buddy).
There was a bookstore in Portland, several years ago, and in 2010 there was a fire. They had a huge section of antique books, one of my many passions. There was a fire and it burned to the ground. Thousands of old copies, antique books that were hard to find, (I have about 95 antique books, not technically valuable but I love them) anyhow, they lost 100,000 books in this 3 alarm fire. What this linked article won't tell you is that there was a large group of employees and neighbors who were gathered outside the building literally in each others arms, weeping. It was a terrible loss. https://www.oregonlive.com/news/2010/05/bookstore_in_120-year-old_form.html
I'm so concerned about this situation because there are other people in the building and not just the "activists." There are other people, and they're probably the homeless or drug addicts or both. Those kinds of people are notorious for doing crazy things, like setting a building on fire. I hope Ted Wheeler is able to direct PPB to do their jobs and get the building cleared.
I agree. There is something VERY sinister going on between Schmidt and Antifa. He is corrupt and crooked and needs to be investigated for Malfeasance in office...
Thanks so much for bringing Schmidt's lies to my attention, and showing how it influences new violence and new destruction. You no doubt saw the news that arsonists torched 13 Portland police cars.
Yep and nothing will be done. They burned vehicles at the homeless shelter construction site, torched the car at Gonzalez’ home and don’t forget the arson of multiple PPS vehicles in 2021. I dislike Trump but maybe he would get the FBI to investigate these acts of domestic terrorism.

So discouraging…
I sure hope Schmidt doesn’t win again. I can’t get a feeling on how that race is going to go

Sounds like you want to cry...😥 I hope people are paying attention to the flip-flop of Schmidt.
I'm so discouraged, it's true.

I will be shocked if Teddy takes any action. He is afraid of the anarchists' and Schmidt is being paid by them. 😫

Oh no. Are you serious? I haven't heard that... damn. ANTIFA no doubt, those miserable scum. Jeez, it never ends.
